Trip Description

NYFA is offering this field trip In partnership with the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage. There is no preregistration for this field trip but all participants must register online for the Pilgrimage at the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage website. https://www.alleganynaturepilgrimage.com/

A moderate hike, but we’ll take 3-4 hours to cover the 3 mile distance. This trail, in Allegany State Park, includes some exceptional areas for some special Allegany plants–including forested seeps that are incredibly lush with wildflowers, ferns and overall great plant diversity. Although the focus will be on the plants, we won’t overlook whatever else happens to come our way–birds, butterflies, dragonflies, fungi. Bring water, binoculars and camera. A hiking stick could be helpful.

 If you have any questions feel free to contact us at anp@nyflora.org.
